The Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, Mr Njabulo Nzuza, will on Friday, 17 April 2026, lead an Identity Document (ID) Campaign and High Impact Outreach Programme in Escourt, KwaZulu-Natal, bringing essential government services closer to the people.

This programme is dedicated to ensuring that every qualifying member of the community has access to the documents they need, particularly IDs, so that no one is left behind ahead of the upcoming local government elections. For many, these documents are not just pieces of paper, but a gateway to dignity, opportunity and full participation in society.

Working together with the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC), the outreach will also provide voter education, to help community members understand the importance of their voice in shaping the future of their society.

Taking place as South Africa marks 30 years of its constitution, this initiative speaks to the continued commitment to uphold the rights of all citizens – ensuring that everyone, especially those in underserved areas, can fully exercise their democratic rights. 

Details of the event are as follows:

Date:  Friday, 17 April 2026
